Trouble sending email via Verizon

Post by mib123 »

Dan,
I found this site by googling that 'login to server smtp.verizon.net failed.' I had been stopped from sending emails. I followed the instructions you gave in 2016 -tools to options to security to passwords I deleted saved passwords. I restarted Thunderbird. Next time I "got mail" it didn't ask for my password. Neither could I figure out how to create a new password.
So, I am lost. How do I create a new password? Will that then allow me to send emails?

Probably not necessary to say I am not a whiz at this computer/email world. And my kids live too far away to help.

I split your post from its original location as the problem the OP was dealing with there was quite different from yours.

What error message are you getting now when trying to send a message using the Verizon account?
What settings do you have for the outgoing server for that account? Check under TB menu path Tools->Account Settings->Outgoing Server (SMTP).
